The appropriations in this Act consist of the amount stated in the right-most column, for each line at the lowest level of detail for the fund

source categories, "Total State Funds" and "Total Federal Funds," under a caption beginning with a program or special project number

that has a 100 or a higher number after the decimal and a program or special project name. In each case, such appropriation is associated

with the immediately preceding program or special project name, number, and statement of program or special project purpose. The

program or special project purpose is stated immediately below the program or special project name. The most specific level of detail for

authorizations for general obligation debt in Section 50 shall be the authorizing paragraphs.

Similarly, text in a group of lines that has a number less than 100 after the decimal (01 through 99) is not part of a statement of purpose

but constitutes information as to how the appropriation was derived. Amounts in the columns other than the right-most column are for

informational purposes only. The summary and lowest level of detail for the fund source categories "Total Agency Funds" and "Total Intra-

State Governmental Transfers," are for informational purposes only. The blocks of text and numerals immediately following the section

header and beginning with the phrases, "Section Total - Continuation" and "Section Totals - Final" are for informational purposes only.

Sections 51, 52, 53 and 54 contain, constitute, or amend appropriations.

Section 56: Flex

Notwithstanding any other statement of purpose, the purpose of each appropriation of federal funds or other funds shall be the stated

purpose or any other lawful purpose consistent with the fund source and the general law powers of the budget unit.

In the preceding sentence, "Federal Funds" means any federal funding source, whether specifically identified or not specifically identified;

"Other Funds" means all other fund sources except State Funds or Federal Funds, including without limitation Intra-State Government

Transfers. This paragraph shall not permit an agency to include within its flex the appropriations for an agency attached to it for

administrative purposes.

For purposes of the appropriations for the "Medicaid: Low-Income Medicaid," "Medicaid: Aged, Blind, and Disabled," and "PeachCare"

programs of the Department of Community Health, the appropriation of a particular State fund source for each program shall be the

amount stated, and each such program shall also be authorized up to an additional amount of 10 percent (10%) of the amount stated.

However, if the additional authority is used, the appropriation of the same State fund source for the other programs to that agency shall

be reduced in the same amount, such that the stated total in program appropriations from that State fund source for the three programs

shall not be exceeded. However, the additional amount shall be from a State fund source which is lawfully available for the program to

which it is added.

For purposes of the appropriations for the "Capital Construction Projects," "Capital Maintenance Projects," and "Local Road Assistance

Administration" programs of the Department of Transportation, the appropriation of a particular State fund source for each program shall

be the amount stated, and each such program shall also be authorized up to an additional amount of 10 percent (10%) of the amount

stated. However, if the additional authority is used, the appropriation of the same State fund source for the other programs to that agency

shall be reduced in the same amount, such that the stated total in program appropriations from that State fund source for the three

programs shall not be exceeded. However, the additional amount shall be from a State fund source which is lawfully available for the

program to which it is added."

Part II: Effective Date
